You must first write an equation for the line through the point perpendicular to the line. Then, find the intersection between the two lines. Lastly, use this point and the distance formula to find the length of the perpendicular segment connecting the given point and the original line. That will lead to the following formula, d = |AX1+BY1- C|/(sqrt(A2+B2)), Where A, B and C represent the coefficients of the given line in standard form and (X1,Y1) is the given point.

Can you use the distance formula to find the distance between two points on a map?
yes you can. It will represent longitude and latitude. Take the longitude and latitude from the first point and from the second one place the values in the formula you get the distance.

What is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point on the next wave?
The distance between one point of a wave to the same point on the next wave is called the wavelength.
How do you solve displacment?
Displacement is nothing but the shortest distance between the starting point and the ending point. FORMULA- D= v/t. hERE d is displacement, v is velocity and t is time.
